Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with multiple conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms, yet their differential associations across diverse individuals are largely unknown. We estimated LTL from blood-derived whole-genome sequences in the All of Us research program (n = 242,494) with diverse ancestries across the USA. LTL was associated with lifestyle, socioeconomic status,...
